So I got an update on EPA approval on the KPT 400. Looks like they finally got everything worked out. I'm being told they will be available March/April 2024.

Jerry, what is the weight on the kpt400?
Who is the importer ? |

too heavy for me I reckon. I've fallen once and almost a couple of times trying to turn around on crappy roads. maybe once I get better at riding, but man it looks heavy!

Jerry, I don't see it on the epa list? Now this list apparently from August, so if in testing right now that would explain its absence.

I must be the only one to think, "Oh HELL NO!". That bike looks ugly AND top heavy. Somebody spiked the designer's coffee with LSD. I think they're first offering in this size should be a more traditional design, then offer something wild like this the following year.

Add some gear into the luggage and fill'er up and you are looking at 600 lbs, plus your weight. Gee.
That seems on the heavy side for adventure sport, isn't it? And the weight is high centered. I don't think I could pick it up |
Why is everyone freaking out about the weight? What are you comparing it to? Looks like it falls into the same weight class. :hmm:
Kpt 400 - 495 lbs with luggage Yamaha TÉNÉRÉ 700-452 lbs + luggage V-Strom 650-528 lb. including Luggage VERSYS 650 LT 482.9 lb* + luggage AFRICA TWIN -505 lbs + luggage |
Don't get me wrong. I am sure it is great as a road bike, perfect for light touring and some forest roads.
The vertical twin engine looks like fun, and the bike is loaded with features. |
